Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreaming

This weeks photo challenge over at http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/weekly-photo-challenge-dreaming/ is dreaming. They suggest a shot with an other worldly sense of escapism created with a long exposure. Mine was only a one second exposure but taken later than the hour before sunset that they suggested, and I have de-saturated it a bit because the street furniture is actually brightly coloured at night. I hope it has an ethereal effect with its ghostly shadows.

About Lucid Gypsy

Gilly Mbachu Goldsworthy is a mum to two kids that are supposed to be grown up and mma to a four year old and a new born baby boy. None of that means that I am grown up though! I love writing – travel and quite edgy fiction – and being an OU student for a degree which remains to be seen. What I do best though is counselling; I’ve been privileged to work with many people through big changes.

  23. This is super, Gilly. You pop these images out and always wonder whether or not they fit in. They are always right on target. The women walking away in the distance have a dream shadowy feel to them. The colors in front seem unexpected; yet, they need to be there. This is outstanding. I absolutely love it. Great job …
    Amazing,
    izzy
